HOUSING CONSTRAINTS <br />Multiple - Family Development Standards <br />The City of Santa Ana has many multiple - family residential projects built <br />between 1960 and 1980. Because of the development standards and lack of design <br />guidelines at that time, many of these projects did not age well and do not offer <br />desired amenities. Conditions include the lack of on -site parking, open space, <br />privacy, and aesthetic quality. Overcrowding, public safety concerns, and the lack <br />of community services also detract from quality of life. The City also is addressing <br />off -site parking shortages in many of these areas. <br />In an effort to provide quality housing, further neighborhood preservation goals, <br />and maintain property values, the City revised its development and design <br />standards for multiple - family residential projects, as shown in Table B -4. <br />Multiple - family housing projects are allowed different density standards, based on <br />the size and configuration of lots, to accommodate new housing. Projects <br />proposing affordable and/or senior units specified under state density bonus law <br />can apply for modifications and /or concessions. <br />Table B -4 <br />Multiple - Family Residential Development Standards <br />Source: City of Santa Ana Municipal Code, 2013 <br />J�A <br />B -14 CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT <br />Building <br />Classification <br />Class 3 <br />36 -60 dwelling <br />Class 4 <br />61 -90 dwelling <br />Project Specifics <br />Class 1 Class 2 <br />Density Range <br />0 -22 dwelling <br />23 -35 dwelling <br />units per acre <br />units per acre <br />units per acre <br />units per acre <br />Minimum Lot Size <br />12,000 <br />21,700 <br />43,500 <br />65,300 <br />square feet <br />square feet <br />square feet <br />square feet <br />Street Frontage <br />75' frontage <br />135' frontage <br />135' frontage 15' <br />200' frontage 15' <br />20' setback <br />15' setback <br />setback <br />setback <br />Maximum Building <br />35' <br />45' <br />60' <br />No Limit <br />Height <br />Open p. <br />Individual units shall have at least 100 square feet of passive open space per <br />Passive <br />dwelling unit and an area equivalent to at least 750 square feet in size with a <br />minimum dimension of 20 feet in each direction <br />An area equivalent to at least 500 square feet in size with a minimum <br />Active <br />dimension of 20 feet in each direction, except 20 percent of the total open <br />space requirement may be met with recreational building space <br />Private <br />Individual units shall have no less than 90 square feet of private open space <br />Unit Sizes <br />and have a minimum dimension of 6 feet in each direction <br />Bachelor Unit: 450 square feet <br />Minimum Unit <br />One- Bedroom Unit: 550 square feet <br />Sizes <br />Two - Bedroom Unit: 750 square feet <br />Three - Bedroom Unit: 950 square feet <br />Source: City of Santa Ana Municipal Code, 2013 <br />J�A <br />B -14 CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT <br />
